anterior, form soft palate to tongue
Palatopharyngeal arch
posterior, forms back towards pharynx to throat from soft palate
What is the tongue made of
interwoven skeletal muscle and fibrous connective tissue
How many types of papillae are there
4, filiform, fungiform, foliate, circumvallate
filiform papillae
main papillae, tend to be white, pointed, seen all over the tongue, give friction
fungiform papillae
round little dots, appear red, scattered around anterior tongue
foliate papillae
on side of tongue
circumvallate papillae
form v-shape on posterior tongue, circles with deep grooves
